Hello

I am new to the forum and would appreciate any help.

I am looking for help or step by step instructions for creating a new networker backup for Exchange 2010 DAG.

I trying to do this with networker 8.2.0.5 and NMM 8.2

I think I may have something wrong with the settings I have on my clients?

I have six servers in the DAG.

I have two entries for each server (one for OS and one for exchange) and one for the DAG name.

The OS Client

Save Set : ALL  

Backup Commands and Application Info are blank.

The Exchange Client Entries

Save Set : APPLICATIONS:\Microsoft Exchange 2010   

Backup Commands and Application Info are blank.

EXCDAG

Save Set : APPLICATIONS:\Microsoft Exchange 2010 

Backup Command: nsrsnap_vss_save

Application Information:

NSR_SNAP_TYPE=vss

CIRCULAR_PROMOTION_POLICY=Promote

NSR_FEDERATED_BACKUP=yes

NSR_FEDERATED_PSOL=EXCCLIENT01,EXCCLIENT02,EXCCLIENT03,EXCCLIENT04,EXCCLIENT05,EXCCLIENT06

NSR_EXCH_INCL_SA=TRUE

NSR_ALT_PATH=c:\nw_mount

NSR_EXCH2010_DAG=ExcDAG

NSR_EXCH2010_BACKUP=preferred

NSR_EXCH_CHECK=no

The Exchange Group Has only the EXCDAG in it and the properties are:

Snapshot, policy and pool are all selected.

Configuration ... Retries to runtime limit are all set to 0

I am trying to run the group that has just the DAG as a client and it does not backup any data and fails.

I get one of these for each member of the DAG.

EXCDAG:APPLICATIONS:\Microsoft Exchange 2010 85940:nsrsnap_vss_save:Slave backup with job id (1885684) failed on host

Also get one of these in each of the servers event log:

The group or resource is not in the correct state to perform the requested operation. .

Any help or ideas is much appreciated. Thank you
